What is poetry?


<< Thread Modifed October 19 at 7:26AM >>

How is quoting a single Bible verse verbatim, and putting a one-line comment at the top "poetry"?

I get the need to proselytize. But do it on FaceBook, or if you simply must do it here, at least write a poem or story of your own. God created all the stars, allegedly, so he doesn't need six more.

RE: What is poetry?

Calm down, big fella. You have options...

1. Hit Skip.

2. Take the money after quietly explaining your point of view.

I agree that this is not a valid 'poem' but if some folks want to post it, who am I to stand in their way?

You're right, Steve. I guess I have been extremely naive in expecting a writing site to be about writing; the particpant's own writing, not someone else's.

I shall silently slink back into my cave, and most likely not darken the doorstep again. The light dawns for even the thickest of us, eventually.
